I'd love to hear the stories of patients lost hearing aids, glasses, dentures that you all have experienced at your facilities and what measures are being taken to prevent their loss.

every summer that i went to girl scout camp


my mom would iron on name labels to absolutely everything that went with me.


In the same fashion ,when a family member had to admitted to a nursing home,


sharpie was the word and labeled everything from underwear to razor and all the items in between.


Because if it's not labeled, you can be assured that it will be gone forever, no matter what the item may be..
